Register today for the 2022 Ministers Institute! This annual event will be taking place in hybrid format this year with options to attend in person at the Christian Conference Center or virtually. Both options will include opportunities for clergy to learn (and earn continuing education hours), worship, fellowship, and relax.

The event will begin on Jan. 24 and close on Jan. 25, with an option to stay through the 26th for an additional education session meeting the anti-racism/pro-reconciliation experience requirement.
